  • I'm pretty sure my recent rewatch was the director's cut. The theatrical release must have been indecipherable. I hear what you're saying about the cyberpunk aesthetic - the visuals were the best thing about this movie. I would thoroughly recommend scifi buffs reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick - it's an excellent (and not overly long) dystopian novella that has so many layers and themes (that Blade Runner largely omitted).

  • BladeRunner - is like they wrote the screenplay based on the excellent source novel, then cut most of the ideas out, leaving only things that make no sense. Rick Deckard is a terrible detective, and only wins the final confrontation because Roy Batty... just gives up? I recently decided that my teenage self might have been wrong and rewatched it... nah, still terrible.

  • I have no single favourite movie - three very different movies occupy my #1 spot:

    1. The Fifth Element
    2. The Shawshank Redemption
    3. The Princess Bride

    Notable runners-up include Terminator 2, Arrival, Aliens, Dune(s), and The Life of Brian.

  • As a non-American, I can confirm. My personal opinion of Americans has been declining sharply for the last decade, and last year's election was the final nail. The average American is a brain-dead magat who puts a greater importance on hurting brown people than helping anyone. It's a shithole country.

  • “Also, I want to remind everyone that this ceasefire probably won’t stop us from dropping bombs. Nothing will stop us. We can do whatever we want and face no consequences because our allies abroad let us.” Truth.

  • I use Linux. I install games via Steam. The most 'dicking around' I've ever had to do to get a game to work is changing the Proton compatibility setting, choosing a release from the drop-down menu.
